Swedish School of Textiles
The Swedish School of Textiles was formed from the Technical School of Weaving, which was founded in 1866. In 1936 the Technical School of Weaving became the Textile Institute. In 1986 The Textile Institute was nationalised and became The Swedish School of Textiles as one of the schools at the University of Borås. In 2010 The Swedish School of Textiles was authorised to provide research-level education within Textile and Fashion (Management, Materials Technology) and Textile and Fashion (Artistic). The Swedish School of Textiles is one out of four Swedish universities with artistic research education and is unique on Textile and Fashion (Artistic).
